Jitter Buffer
A small buffer that holds incoming audio packets to smooth out timing variation and prevent dropouts.
A jitter buffer temporarily holds incoming audio or media packets so that variation in their arrival timing (jitter) can be smoothed out before playback or processing, preventing gaps and dropouts. It trades a small amount of added latency for stability. Jitter buffers appear throughout live and networked audio, including in contribution protocols and real-time processing pipelines, where they factor into the overall latency budget.
